Place Note

how do you change the angle for place note?  I've tried active angle pt2, but that didn't work (did for place text).

  • I have been rotating the view to place rotated notes so long I don't know if is supported by the dimension style or not.

  • You either need to rotate the view before placing the note or the way I like to do it is to use accudraw. If you use accudraw, you can rotate accudraw to the element you want the text aligned with then when you snap to the element to place the end of the leader the text should be rotated to the element as you are dragging it for placement. This is assuming you have place note set to start at the terminator end. If it is set to start at the text then you would place the text first and drag the leader.

  • IN THE PLACE NOTE settings dialog change the text rotation from default Horizontal to inline and  change location to manual  now play with placing  if not happy turn manual back to automatic... this will let you place the text at the angle  or in line with the leader  the manual lets you put a vertice in the leader then  spin the extension and  text  like a clock hand around the  vertice  but stay in line with the extension line... try it out to see what  I mean... btw I didn't know we could do that  in line thing! just tried playing with the settings...
